Now need a visa in advance by the crossing by Eilat unless part of an official tour group

What's the logic behind such a move?

For some reason I thought there was another fee also.
They also are using this to try to get tourists to stay longer and visit petra

Aren't many options. Public transport or taxi to border and then taxi or sherut to Jerusalem
